The house was pretty nice and had beautiful views. There was a lot of room for our extended family. And the area was nice as well. There's a nice trail going around the lake, and you can fish w/o a license since it's private. No swimming, though. Gladly, too. My 4-yo was wading in sandals and when we came in and took her sandals off, there was a leech attached to her foot. And we saw 3-/4-foot fish, and some snakes and snapping turtles. We did kayak, though. Patrick with Blackwater Outdoor Adventures rented them to us for the week and even delivered and picked them up. I'm not usually one to write reviews, let alone complain about a place, but we weren't very pleased with the rental company. Firstly, my husband called to ask about a fire pit. He was told there wasn't one and that we couldn't have a fire other than in places designated for a fire. So we went out and bought one of those free-standing ones, and when we got there, there WAS a firepit. If they had the knowledge of the property that they should've, it would've saved us the time getting one and having to take it back and all the room wasted in the car there and back. Secondly, one of the things they claimed was great was the yard, and when we got there on Sunday the grass wasn't cut/was high. It was a concern of mine having the tall grasses with toddlers running around in a nature preserve with all the deer and ticks, and also wanting to play games out in the yard. They didn't get someone out there to cut it until Thursday. Thirdly, when we got there the sheets on our bed & my sister's smelled funny and had some "stains". We took the sheets off and washed them, and the "stains" were gone...yeah, gross. The property managers response was-maybe they overloaded the washing machine, which they tend to do....still gross. I will say that other than the sheets, though, the place seemed pretty clean, but the sheets made me wonder. Definitely not a good experience with the rental company.
